Abstract

Although the outcomes of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) have improved, patient survival remains lower than in patients with chronic liver disease. We investigated whether the poor outcomes of LDLT for PALF persisted in the contemporary transplant era.
